Sometimes, a business just picks an unfortunate name. And sometimes, they are hilarious! What funny and inappropriate names have you seen for restaurants, bars, liquor stores, etc?
I'll nominate a few I've seen:
1. Sam n Ella's - an actual name for a cafe (think about it) 2. La Cucaracha - doesn't this mean "the cockroach"? 3. Pot Belly and Rolly Polly - these are actual joints near me. Why do you want to make your customers think about getting fat? 4. Fat Burger - not near me, but see #3. 5. Fattoush. A Lebanese restaurant in my 'hood. Why would you want people to think about a "fat tush" when they come to your establishment?
Okay, your turn. What unfortunately named bars or clubs are near you, or have you heard of?

Dirty Martin's in Austin has been selling burgers since 1926.

If we're going to complain about topics being re-runs, we might as well pull the plug on this whole board.

Was that supposed to be a bad name for a restaurant?

We have one of these: La Cucaracha Bar & Grill.
El Fartolito Mexican Restaurant. We call it El Fart for short.

The only item on the menu would be Soylent Green.

"Golden Shower" would be a better name for a tavern. A good place to get pissed!

As much as I love Indian food and vaginas I'm not really sure the two should be eaten together...

Every month, this restaurant is closed for five days.

It's the only restaurant I've ever known that closes when it's got a headache.

With a name like that, it's got to be a seafood restaurant.

And that salsa recipe may need a 2nd look, also.

I've probably told this story before, but RH just reminded me of it. In Monroe Wisconsin (home "Cheese Days") there is a grocery store called Dick's. Their loyalty card program is called the "Dick's Insider" card.
